As part of the seminar “Circular Economy and Sustainability Management in the Global South”, ten TUMCS students, accompanied by Prof. Dr. Magnus Fröhling and Vanessa Heinrich, traveled to the Ghanaian capital Accra. For years, e-waste from all over the world – including Germany – has accumulated in West Africa, mostly imported illegally into the region and processed and recycled locally under precarious and dangerous conditions.
The prize is awarded to students, doctoral candidates or scientists working at the Competence Center for Renewable Resources and have drawn attention to themselves through special achievements or initiatives, also in support of outstanding dissertations, master’s or diploma theses.
Michael Zavrel has worked on the development of industrial bioprocesses that turn waste into high-quality products. Now the Professor of Bioprocess Engineering is passing on his knowledge from industry in the lab and the lecture hall at the TUM Campus Straubing.
Prof. Dominik Grimm, Head of the Professorship of Bioinformatics at HSWT on the TUM Campus Straubing (TUMCS), gave a talk on “Weed Detection with Drones and Artificial Intelligence” at the Haus der Bayerischen Wirtschaft (hbw) in Munich on 24 November.
This week, a cohort of our Master students visited the Lidl warehouse in Straubing, a hub managing logistics for 81 stores and offering nearly the complete range of products. The visit gave us detailed insights into the in- and outbound processes and order picking, providing a firsthand understanding of its operational challenges.
